Marble Sort Level 117 Walkthrough & Solution

Level 117 Board Overview: The Numbered Block Lockdown

Level 117 greets you with a wall of gray Hidden Boxes and four numbered blocks holding the whole Top Tray hostage. The two blocks on the outer edges need 5 clears each, the two in the center need 3. Until those counters hit zero, the middle of the board is off-limits.

Your playable front row is just four blocks: White, Red, Brown, and Purple. Behind them sits a second row of Green, Purple, Brown, Green, plus a lone Pink on the far right. Up at the very top, two Tunnels each show a countdown of 4 — they stay sealed until the endgame.

The bottom Boxes give you four columns to feed: Red over a Hidden Box over White on the far left, Brown over Green over Brown in column two, Purple over Yellow in column three, and Green over Red on the far right.

The Trap in Marble Sort Level 117

The trap is the White block, front and center. It looks like the freest marble on the board, but check the bottom: no White Box is open. The only White Box hides at the bottom of column one, under a Red Box and a Hidden Box. Tap that White block early and it rots on your Conveyor Belt, eating the space you desperately need.

Here is how the rest of the board is rigged:

• Column one: Red on top — your free first clear. The Hidden Box and White Box below it only matter later.
• Column two: Brown opens it, and clearing that Brown exposes a Green Box, which pairs nicely with the Greens in the tray’s second row.
• Column three: Purple first, Yellow behind it. Your front Purple block has a home.
• Column four: Green on top, Red buried under it. The second-row Green blocks feed this the moment the front row clears.

Every early tap should either fill an open Box or unlock one that does. The numbered blocks tick down as you clear, so disciplined opening moves literally dismantle the board’s lock.

Marble Sort Level 117 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Opening: feed the front Boxes and skip the White

1. Tap the Red block into the open Red Box on the far left. This exposes the first Hidden Box below it.
2. Tap the front Brown block into the Brown Box in column two. A Green Box appears underneath.
3. Tap the front Purple block into the Purple Box in column three. Yellow is now exposed behind it.
4. Do not touch the White block. Leave it parked.
5. Tap the Green blocks in the second row — they fill column four’s Green Box and the Green Box you just revealed in column two.

Mid-game: the center grid shatters

Those clears zero out the two center blocks numbered 3. The gray grid breaks apart and the Hidden Boxes flip, spilling Light Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Bright Green into the tray. The bottom columns shift too — White Boxes finally open in columns two and three.

6. Tap the White block you saved. It finally has somewhere to go.
7. Work the newly revealed Pink, Yellow, and Red marbles into their Boxes. Every clear chips the outer blocks numbered 5 closer to zero.
8. Watch the belt as columns cycle into Brown and Orange on the left — only pull colors with an open receiver.

Endgame: break the fives and empty the Tunnels

9. Finish the two outer blocks numbered 5 to unlock the far edges of the tray.
10. Light Blue and Orange Boxes cycle up from columns one and four — sort the newly freed outer marbles into them.
11. The Tunnels activate last. Keep at least three Conveyor Belt slots open before they fire, because they dump chunky clusters of dark green and bright blue.
12. Match the Tunnel drops into the final Boxes one wave at a time. Let each animation settle before the next tap.

Level 117 Tips Recap

• The White block is pure bait until a White Box opens — park it and forget it.
• Your opening clears are also your keys: they tick the numbered blocks down while feeding Boxes.
• Never let the belt drop below three free slots once the Tunnels are close to firing.
